QuickTime export problem and workaround

Monday, June 6, 2005

If you’re exporting your presentation to QuickTime and get this error,
you’ve run into a problem introduced with Keynote 2.0.1. The solution to delete your Keynote preferences WILL work, but it will reset any other settings you’ve made back to default as well. The easier way to solve the problem is to go into Keynote -> Preferences, choose the Slideshow preferences and place a check beside “Exit presentation after last slide”.
Once this is done, you’ll be able to export to QuickTime again.

I had the same problem. I was able to export a file to QT before. I had to make some revisions on the file and was not able to export it after that. I got the disk full or file error message. My only solution at the time was to export to Power Point and then export to QT. It worked. I wish I had found this site sooner. Thanks for the info, I will check it out next time I need to export.

Well, the workaround doesn’t work (around!-) for me :
i’m doing a slideshow for ditribution on a CD-rom, which has about 600 slides that i need to export to QT interactive presentation :
i get the bloody error at the end of rendering whever i check or not the exit after last slide button.

when it is checked however, i can export a “slice” of the presentation, but anything bigger than 150 slide won’t work.
anyone with a SOLID workaround ?
(i’m thinkking of exporting slices then assemble them in macromedia director but that’s the last option i’d wanna go through : keynote HAS TO DO THE JOB !!!
thanks for your inputs

My problem is that the first 8 slides of my show is a build, then the rest of the show are individual slide. When I export to Quicktime, it plays fine but it gets hung up on the last slide of the build. Anyone got any suggestions?
